How Much to Tip: Cost of one week’s pay

InvestorPlace’s Take: You won’t see many people balk at tipping the cleaners — the next group in our holiday tipping guide. All that scrubbing, vacuuming and sweeping of someone else’s mess? It’s money well-spent for a thankless job.

If it’s a job well done, the cost of a week’s pay is how much to tip — if the cleaners are daily.

Of course, many people get regular services on a much less frequent basis, such as once a week, two weeks or month. If so, the cost of one visit is appropriate tipping etiquette.
